DAVID E. BANGS, OF MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.

VAPOR-BURNER FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 229,355, dated June 29,18 80.

Application filed May 1, 1880.

To all whom it may concem Be it known that I, DAVID E. BANGS, ofMedford, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and valuable Improvement in Vapor-Burners for Stoves; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification,and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a cross-sectional viewof a stove containing my improved burner, and Fig. 2 is a top view ofthe same.

This invention has relation to improvements in vapor-burners for stovesfor consuming the vapors of petroleum and it consistsin a burnerconstructed and operating substantially as.

hereinafter shown and described.

In the annexed drawings the letter A designates a metallic plate ofsuitable length and breadth, having formed therein a longitudinal slot,8, over which is erected the burner-cone B. This is composed of twosemicircular end pieces, a, erected at the ends of the slot; of a fixedside plate, a, of curved form, fixed to said end pieces; and of amovable side piece, I), hinged to plate A in any suitable manner, sothat it may be thrown back and easy access had to the burner G. Thehinged side I) of the cone in position rests upon the curved ledges c,secured to the end pieces, a.

The burner O is composed of a tube, (1, supported from the under side ofthe plate, as indicated at e, and of a trough, d, erected on the upperside of the said tube, as indicated in Fig. 1, perforations i being madeinside of the said trough for the passage of the hydrocarbon vapors.

The burner is shut in from below by means of a concave metallicreflector, D, which also catches the overflow, if any, from trough d,removably secured to the under side of plate A by means of lugs z.

The tube (Z is open-ended, and closed by means of removable screw-capscl.

E E indicate metallic retorts or tubes, open at each end, and likewiseclosed by removable caps 61, which tubes lie upon the plate A, close upagainst the cone B, and are connected to- (No model.)

gether by means of a short pipe, 12, at one end only and F is a similarpipe, having similar removable caps 61, and arranged slightly above thelevel of pipes E E. This pipe is connected at one end by means of apipe, f, to the tube 01 of the burner, and at the other to the tube E,by means of a pipe, f. There is thus established between tubes E, E, F,and d a zigzag communication.

The three pipes E, E, and F are arranged in the passage through whichthe smoke and products of combustion pass into the chimney orstove-pipe.

The petroleum is fed into pipe E at the top, near one end, through anordinary filling-orifice provided with a removable screwcap, and passesthence in to the opposite end of pipe E, and, being volatilized therein,the resultant gases enter the pipe F, whence they pass into the tube d,and are consumed at the holes 6. The pipe E, which may be called,properly, the gas-receiver, being above pipes E E, is rarely entered bythe hydrocarbon fluid. When the burner is first lit the reflectorrepelsthe heat and concentrates it upon the tube d, thus speedily vaporizingthe contents thereof.

This burner is placed within the stove or furnace with the pipes E E Fextending through its sides and the plate A resting on an inside ledgeor projection, y, on the inner walls of said stoveor furnace. Byunscrewing the caps from the ends of the pipes they may be readilycleaned out with a mop or swab.

As shown in Fig. 1, the retorts E E and gasreceiver F are within thepassage 2, through which the products of combustion pass from the coneof the burner to the pipe or line.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. Thecombination, in a vapor-burning stove or furnace, of the plate A andcone B, erected thereon, the burn er-pipe d, having trough d on itsupper side and perforations @in the bottom thereof, the pipes E E uponthe outside of the cone and communicating with each other, and thegas-receiver F, communicating at one end with pipe d and at the otherwith pipe E, the pipes E, E, and F being in the smoke-passage of thestove or furnace and thepipeF arranged above the pipes E E,substantially as specified.

2. The combination, in a vapor-burner for stoves or furnaces, of thecone-plate A, the the plate A and having a swinging side piece,burner-tube (1, below the same, and the oil-tube I), substantially asspecified. E, above said cone-plate and in contact with 'In testimonythat I claim the above I have the outside of the cone-wall a,substantially hereunto subscribed my name in the presence 5 asspecified. of two witnesses. 1
